Cella Energy has developed a method using a low-cost process called coaxial electrospinning or electrospraying. This traps a complex chemical hydride inside a nano-porous polymer, speeds up the kinetics of hydrogen desorption, reduces the temperature at which the desorption occurs and filters out many if not all of the damaging chemicals. It also protects the hydrides from oxygen and water, making it possible to handle it in air. Cella Energy is winner of the: Shell Springboard Award, Energy Innovation Award, and Energy Storage Challenge. I am Chairperson of the Liquids and Complex Fluids Group of the Institute of Physics. Memberships : Member of the Thomas Young Centre - London Centre for the Theory and Simulation of Materials. ResearchResearch: Our research aims to understand and control the properties of materials, by building up a picture of where the atoms are what the atoms do. This approach also allows us to design new materials that will perform particular functions for us. For example, we are currently creating solids that will be able to store hydrogen for the supply of clean energy, and we are devising ways to process nanotubes and graphene so that we can exploit the remarkable properties of these forms of carbon. We also have long-standing interests in the more fundamental properties of liquids and non-crystalline materials. We are experts in the handling of liquid ammonia and metal-ammonia solutions, and are therefore able to exploit its extraordinary properties as a solvent. These include its ability to dissolve very large concentrations of electrons, giving us unique metallic liquids of very low density. We are also very interested in the way that aromatic molecules interact with each other via their π-electrons. These interactions are a key factor in many important biological and chemical processes. We use a variety of experimental and computational techniques in our research. In addition to our laboratories at UCL, we also make extensive use of international neutron and X-ray scattering facilities. For example the ISIS Neutron Source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble. Some Recent Publications Activation and local structural stability during the thermal decomposition of Mg/Al-hydrotalcite by total neutron scattering. Mourad, M.C.D.; Mokhtar, M.; Tucker, M.G.; Barney, E.R.; Smith, R.I.; Alyoubi, A.O.; Basahel, S.N.; Shaffer M.S.P.; Skipper, N.T.J. Mater. Chem. 21, 15479-15485 (2011). DOI: 10.1039/C1JM11530H The activation of synthetic hydrotalcite, the carbonated layered double hydroxide (LDH) with ratio Mg2+/Al3+ = 3 and structural formula [Mg6Al2(OH)16]2+·CO32 - n(H2O), has been investigated using neutron and X-ray diffraction. In situ neutron diffraction was used to follow the structural phase transformations during the thermal decomposition (calcination) of hydrotalcite under vacuum in the temperature range 298-723 K, and during which the residual gas evolved by the sample was analysed by mass spectrometry. Detailed structural information of the LDH and mixed metal oxides (MMOs) was extracted from both the Bragg peaks and the total scattering. These two analysis techniques provide complementary insight into the relevant transition mechanisms, since Bragg diffraction originates from long-range periodicities within the samples while total scattering reveals the subtleties of the local atomic environment. This latter information is particularly important for our understanding of catalytic activity since it elucidates the local metal coordination. We find that, during the calcination process, the local environment around the metal centres is robust, as the various stages during the phase transition have identical local structures. The implications of these new results for the nature of the MMOs is discussed in relation to the well-studied, reverse, rehydration reaction, and the high propensity of trivalent Al ions to migrate to tetrahedrally-coordinated lattice sites. Chiral interactions of histidine in a hydrated vermiculite clay. Fraser, DG; Greenwell, HC; Skipper, NT; Smalley, MV; Wilkinson, MA; Deme, B; Heenan, RK. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 13, 825-830 (2011). DOI: 10.1039/c0cp01387k Recent work shows a correlation between chiral asymmetry in non-terrestrial amino acids extracted from the Murchison meteorite and the presence of hydrous mineral phases in the meteorite [D. P. Glavin and J. P. Dworkin, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A., 2009, 106, 5487-5492]. This highlights the need for sensitive experimental tests of the interactions of amino acids with clay minerals together with high level computational work. We present here the results of in situ neutron scattering experiments designed to follow amino acid adsorption on an exchanged, 1-dimensionally ordered n-propyl ammonium vermiculite clay. The vermiculite gel has a (001) d-spacing of order 5 nm at the temperature and concentration of the experiments and the d-spacing responds sensitively to changes in concentration, temperature and electronic environment. The data show that isothermal addition of D-histidine or L-histidine solutions of the same concentration leads to an anti-osmotic swelling, and shifts in the d-spacing that are different for each enantiomer. This chiral specificity, measured in situ, in real time in the neutron beam, is of interest for the question of whether clays could have played an important role in the origin of biohomochirality. The structure of π-π interactions in aromatic liquids. Headen TF, Howard CA, Skipper NT, Wilkinson MA, Bowron DT, Soper AK. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132, 5735-5742 (2010). DOI: 10.1021/jp8083502 JACS cover. High-resolution neutron diffraction has been used in conjunction with hydrogen/deuterium isotopic labeling to determine with unprecedented detail the structure of two archetypal aromatic liquids: benzene and toluene. We discover the nature of aromatic π-π interactions in the liquid state by constructing for the first time a full six-dimensional spatial and orientational picture of these systems. We find that in each case the nearest neighbor coordination shell contains approximately 12 molecules. Benzene is the more structured of the two liquids, showing, for example, a sharper nearest neighbor coordination peak in the radial distribution function. Superficially the first neighbor shells appear isotropic, but our multidimensional analysis shows that the local orientational order in these liquids is much more complex. At small molecular separations (<5 Å) there is a preference for parallel π-π contacts in which the molecules are offset to mimic the interlayer structure of graphite. At larger separations (>5 Å) the neighboring aromatic rings are predominantly perpendicular, with two H atoms per molecule directed toward the acceptor's π orbitals. The so-called "anti-hydrogen-bond" configuration, proposed as the global minimum for the benzene dimer, occurs only as a saddle point in our data. The observed liquid structures are therefore fundamentally different than those deduced from the molecular dimer energy surfaces. Synthesis of graphene-like nanosheets and their hydrogen adsorption capacity. Srinivas, G.; Zhu, Y.; Piner, R.; Skipper, N.T.; Ellerby, M.; Ruoff, R. Carbon 48, 630-635 (2010). DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon.2009.10.003 Graphene-like nanosheets have been synthesized by the reduction of a colloidal suspension of exfoliated graphite oxide. The morphology and structure of the graphene powder sample was studied using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The graphene sheets are found to be in a highly agglomerated state, with many wrinkles. The sample has a BET surface area of 640 m2/g as measured by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. Hydrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms were measured in the temperature range 77-298 K and at pressures of up to 10 bar. This gives hydrogen adsorption capacities of about 1.2 wt.% and 0.1 wt.% at 77 K and 298 K, respectively. The isosteric heat of adsorption is in the range of 5.9-4 kJ/mol, indicating a favourable interaction between hydrogen and surface of the graphene sheets. The estimated room temperature H2 uptake capacity of 0.72 wt.% at 100 bar and the isosteric heat of adsorption of our sample are comparable to those of high surface area activated carbons, however significantly better than the recently reported values for graphene and a range of other carbon and nanoporous materials; single and multi walled carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, graphites and zeolites. A Solution Selection Model for Coaxial Electrospinning and Its Application to Nanostructured Hydrogen Storage Materials. Kurban, Z.; Lovell, A.; Bennington, S.M.; Jenkins, D.W.K.; Ryan, K.R.; Jones, M.O.; Skipper, N.T.; David, W.I.F. J. Phys. Chem. C 114, 21201-21213 (2010). DOI: 10.1021/jp107871v Coaxial electrospinning was used to encapsulate the complex hydride ammonia borane in polystyrene to improve its properties as a hydrogen storage material. A solvent selection system was developed by using the Hansen solubility parameters to facilitate the choice of compatible solvents for core and shell. This enabled systematic optimization of the parameters needed for successful coelectrospinning. This approach has general application for any multiphase electrospinning system, including ones where the core is highly conducting or nonpolymeric. The resulting fiber morphologies depend strongly on the degree of miscibility of core and shell solutions. Fibers spun from immiscible core?shell solutions had a classic coaxial structure. Fibers produced from semimiscible core?shell solutions were highly porous, with inclusions extending through the fiber and an ordered radial and longitudinal distribution of nanoscale pores on the fiber surface. We suggest that this type of porosity may be due to an instability created in the nonaxisymmetric modes at the core?shell interface, resulting in intrusion of the core into the shell polymer. These controllably porous structures have numerous potential applications including materials templating or drug delivery. In the porous fibers, the temperature of the first hydrogen release of ammonia borane is reduced to 85 °C. This result suggests a nanostructured hydride, but a large mass loss indicates that much of the ammonia borane is expelled on heating. The coaxial fibers, in contrast, appear to encapsulate the hydride successfully. The coaxial and porous fibers alike showed no significant release of borazine, suggesting two different suppression mechanisms for this impurity. Computer Simulations of Fulleride Anions in Metal-Ammonia Solutions. Howard, C.A.; Skipper, N.T. J. Phys. Chem. B 113, , 3324-3332 (2009). DOI: 10.1021/jp8083502 Monte Carlo computer simulation has been used to study the energetics and local structure of fulleride anions C60n? (n = 0, 2, 4, 6) in metal-ammonia solutions. We find that the enthalpy of dissolution is markedly favorable only for n = 2 and 4, which is in line with experimental observations. Analysis of the structure developed around the fulleride anions shows two strong solvation shells of ammonia at distances of around 6.75 and 9.5 Å from the fulleride center of mass. This is in excellent agreement with high-resolution neutron diffraction studies of K5C60 in ammonia. The uncharged fullerene (n = 0) induces no discernible orientational order in the neighboring solvent. In contrast to this, there is progressively stronger hydrogen-bonding of the first-shell solvent to the anions (n = 2, 4, 6), approaching one hydrogen-bond per molecule for n = 6. This maximum of one hydrogen bond per ammonia to the fulleride anion is found to permit intersolvent hydrogen bonding within and across the solvation shells similar to that found in bulk liquid ammonia. Comparison of the cations Li+, Na+, K+, and Ca2+ shows that only the potassium has a tendency to form direct ion-pair complexes with the fulleride anion. This work therefore highlights the mechanisms by which metal-ammonia solutions are able to dissolve high concentrations of fullerene salts. Evidence for Asphaltene Nanoaggregation in Toluene and Heptane from Molecular Dynamics Simulations. Headen, T.F.; Boek, E.S.; Skipper, N.T. Energy & Fuels 23 1220-1229 (2009). DOI: 10.1021/ef800872g Molecular dynamics simulation techniques have been used to study the nanoaggregation of one resin and two asphaltene structures, generated by an updated quantitative molecular representation (QMR) technique (Boek, E. S., Yakovlev, D. S., and Headen, T. F. Energy Fuels, manuscript submitted), in toluene and heptane. Analysis of the simulation trajectories, to yield the separation of asphaltene or resin pairs, over a 20 ns simulation has been used to investigate aggregation dynamics. The structure of aggregates has been investigated by the calculation of the asphaltene?asphaltene and resin?resin radial distribution functions, g(r), and the average angle between the polyaromatic planes as a function of separation. We calculate, for the first time, the asphaltene-asphaltene-potential of mean force (PMF) from the g(r) and separately by a constraint force method. In general, it is observed that the asphaltenes form dimers and trimers in both toluene and heptane. Once formed, the dimers and trimers can separate and reform other aggregates with other asphaltene molecules. Aggregates persist for longer in heptane than in toluene. The resin molecule forms no aggregates in toluene, with some aggregation occurring in heptane. Significant peaks in the asphaltene?asphaltene g(r) are seen in both toluene and heptane between 0.5 and 1 nm separation. This is strong evidence for asphaltene nanoaggregation from molecular dynamics simulations. At the lowest separations, the angle between the aromatic planes is close to parallel. The calculated potential of the mean force gives similar results for both methods. For the asphaltene molecules in both toluene and heptane, free energy of dimer formation ranged from ~6.6 to ~12.1 kJ mol-1. Quantum delocalization of molecular hydrogen in alkali-graphite intercalates. Lovell, A.; Fernandez-Alonso, F.; Skipper, N.T.; Refson, K.; Bennington, S.M.; Parker, S.F. Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 126101 (2008). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.126101 The adsorption of molecular hydrogen (H2) in the graphite intercalation compound KC24 is studied both experimentally and theoretically. High-resolution inelastic neutron data show spectral features consistent with a strong pinning of H2 along a single axis. First-principles calculations provide novel insight into the nature of H2 binding in intercalates but fail to account for the symmetry of the H2 orientational potential deduced from experiment. The above discrepancy disappears once the H2 center of mass is allowed to delocalize in the quantum-mechanical sense across three vicinal adsorption sites, naturally leading to the well-known saturation coverage of 2H2 per metal atom in this material. Our results demonstrate that H2 storage in metal-doped carbon substrates can be severely affected by hitherto unexplored quantum-mechanical effects.

Plants, like animals, begin life as a single cell, the fertilized egg or zygote. This single cell undergoes growth, cell division and differentiation to produce an embryo, or immature plant. This developmental process is called embryogenesis. Since all cells of the embryo are produced through mitotic divisions from the zygote, all cells should have the same genetic make-up. Yet these genetically identical cells ultimately differentiate into different cell types, organs and tissues. The unanswered questions of development, then, concern how gene expression is altered to produce different cell and tissue types, at different times during development and at different places within the organism. Somatic embryos, ones produced from somatic or body cells of a plant rather than from a zygote, provide a useful system in which to study the process of gene expression because they can be produced in abundance in tissue culture. My work involves characterizing the regulation of certain embryonic genes during the development of somatic embryos of carrot by examining factors (i.e. hormones, light, desiccation) that alter their expression. This, in turn, may provide information regarding the function of these genes during embryogenesis and begin to answer some of the long-standing questions of plant development.

CHaHS Faculty Partnership with the Stanford Geriatric Education Center (SGEC)
CHaHS Partnership with SGEC in Ethnogeriatrics
The purpose of the CHaHS partnership with SGEC is to increase the competencies of SJSU students in ethnogeriatrics, that is, to understand and address culturally specific issues that arise during the course of providing health care services to older adults. The training is embedded in the curriculum of the following programs of study at CHaHS: Nursing, Nutrition, Occupational Therapy, and Social Work.
Issues related to working with culturally diverse elders tend not to be addressed in typical curricula used to train health care providers. This can lead to disparities in health care and health outcomes for diverse groups of elders. Ethnogeriatrics is a term used to describe ethnically and culturally relevant education and practice among those who provide health care services to older people.
Research, Curricula, and Training
Over the years, CHaHS faculty members have been instrumental in generating knowledge in ethnogeriatrics through the development and dissemination of research articles, ethnogeriatric curricula, and presentations on a variety of topics including:
- Ethnicity and the Dementias
- Diabetes and mental health among ethnic elders - Curriculum
- Cultural competence when working with older adults- Ethnogeriatrics training
- Understanding the impact of Health Literacy issues among ethnic elders
View the Cultural Competence training videos created by SJSU faculty.
The Cultural Competence training consists of four separate but related presentations on: Demographic imperatives and Health Disparities; Barriers to Health Care, Cultural Health Beliefs and Practices, and the LEARN model as a tool for improving cross-cultural communication. The fifth video, geared primarily for instructors, depicts the facilitation of an in-class discussion of a Case Study using the LEARN model [pdf].

Stamaccioni faces first Inter injury crisis
Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni declared his "faith in the squad" as he faces the first real injury crisis of his Inter career.
• Blog: Milito - Prince of Milano
Inter will be without both Andrea Ranocchia and Walter Samuel after they were ruled out for up to three weeks.
Suffering calf and groin strains respectively, the duo have been essential to Inter's new three-man backline and Stramaccioni will be forced to come up with a solution without long-term absentee Cristian Chivu. The young coach appeared untroubled, however, believing whoever he selects will perform well enough.
"I have faith in the squad, as they are capable of putting the right character and approach on to the field," Stramaccioni said in his press conference ahead of Inter's Europa League match against Partizan Belgrade. "This is the first time we can really talk about an emergency situation so I have to change some things."
That is likely to provide the first opportunity for Mattias Silvestre to prove himself following his move from Palermo and the 28-year-old – limited to just three appearances so far this term - knows he must show he is ready to step up.
The defender told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I've had less opportunities to play recently but the team has been doing well so it's only right that they should continue. In any case, it's up to the boss to decide these things. I'm always ready to help when needed.
"I'm aware that I've joined a great team where there is a lot of competition for places, I've answered when I've been called upon and I try to make the most of every opportunity I get. I've always had a very open relationship with the coach and I'll give it everything I've got."

The story of Drambuie begins over 267 years ago in July 1746. Prince Charles Edward Stuart (known also as Bonnie Prince Charlie) was on the run, after defeat at the Battle of Culloden had ended his hopes of restoring the Stuarts to the throne of Great Britain.
The Prince was pursued by the King's men across the Highlands and Islands of Western Scotland, bravely aided by many Highland Clans. Among them was Clan MacKinnon whose chief, John MacKinnon, helped the Prince escape from The Isle of Skye. In thanks for his bravery the Prince gave John MacKinnon the secret recipe to his personal liqueur, a gift that the Clan were to treasure down the generations. An extraordinary elixir that would, many years later, become known to the world as Drambuie.
A New Dawn
In 1873, the recipe was passed on to John Ross of The Broadford Hotel on Skye, who started making it to serve in his hotel. Customers who tasted it commented in Gaelic that it was "an dram buidheach", the drink that satisfies shortened to Drambuie. The name stuck and in 1893, John's son James registered it as a trademark. Malcolm MacKinnon travelled from Skye to Edinburgh in 1900 to work in the wines and spirits business. He recognised the opportunity that the liqueur offered and in 1909 produced Drambuie for the first time on the Scottish mainland paying a royalty to the widow of James Ross. By 1914 he had acquired the recipe and the trademark and he established The Drambuie Liqueur Company.
Word began to spread about the Drambuie elixir, and it became the first liqueur to be introduced to the House Of Lords in 1916. Then a year later Buckingham Palace ordered a case for its cellars. The breakout of the First World War interrupted the rise of Drambuie's popularity commercially, however it did gain favour amongst many Army officers, becoming an Officers Mess staple in the Highland regiments.
After The First World War Drambuie began to exploit new international opportunities. As it began to gain a foothold in America, prohibition struck. Initially this was a problem for Drambuie, with supplies no longer legally allowed to enter America. Many distillers and drink producers began to participate in the secretive Sub Rosa campaign, where pirates & smugglers were used to get Scottish spirits into America. In fact there is a recorded instance of Drambuie being seized by US Customs officers en route from Canada in 1931.
Rusty Nail
By the end of prohibition in 1933 Drambuie had become a very popular drink in the speakeasies of the East Coast, due to its ability to mix well with the raw American prohibition spirits and mask their unrefined flavours.
These early concoctions became the forerunners to the famous Rusty Nail. Its exact origins are uncertain but we know that it first appears on the menu of an infamous New York club in the early 60s. At a time when the legendary carousing of the Rat Pack came to prominence, the Rusty Nail was adopted by the scene, confirming the drink's iconic status and establishing its place in pop culture history.

Following some speculation from the cryptocurrency community, IOTA has come out to clarify that it currently has no formal partnership with Microsoft, despite its announcement from earlier in November.
This means that the Redmond giant has not yet contributed any data to IOTA's marketplace, nor does it have any sensors connected to its network. Asked about its involvement in IOTA's data marketplace, a Microsoft spokesperson told TNW that " IOTA is a Microsoft Azure customer and plans to use Azure to test and deploy its Data Marketplace."
Having said this, the two companies are indeed collaborating on a series of technology innovation exercises with IOTA's Tangle network , albeit without any signed agreements.
"W e have never mentioned that any of the companies which are participating in the marketplace are our 'partners,'" co-founder Dominik Schiener told TNW over email. "We call them participants."
For the record, following Microsoft's "participation," IOTA's market share has more than quadrupled from $2.95 billion to over $13 billion, according to Coin Market Cap .
" We are in touch with multiple divisions at Microsoft (Chicago, Paris, Munich)," he continued. "We are hosting two meetups today in Chicago and on Thursday in Paris which are hosted at the Microsoft offices." The aim of this exercise, according to Schiener, is merely to showcase the potential of Tangle and its data marketplace as a proof of concept.
As part of this experiment, the meetups, which will take place at Microsoft's offices, will focus on installing and connecting weather sensors to IOTA's ledger technology. In this context, Microsoft's so-called "participation" is more of a thought leadership exercise than an actual "partnership."
" We had planned to meet up with [Microsoft blockchain specialist] Omkar Naik and his team this week to help them set up the sensor (like we've done with Bosch in Chicago)." the co-founder said.
Curiously, IOTA's press release from a few weeks back suggested that Microsoft had already done that. Here is what it said:
Participants from all sectors and industries are represented, companies such as Deutsche Telekom, EWE, Microsoft, Bosch, TINE, PwC, Accenture, Fujitsu, Schneider Electric, Orange, DNV GL, and many more have deployed sensors that directly sell the data on the marketplace.
Participation is easy – no prior knowledge or experience is needed. As long as you are willing to learn and come along, you're welcome. If you have skills in some areas but not in some others: Join in you'll greatly contribute to the experience.

Eyster said Rosenthal was guilty of poor accounting.
Rosenthal, on that: pic.twitter.com/4RKSUbYmH1
Character witnesses for Rosenthal called him an upstanding pillar of the community during Monday's sentencing hearing. All said they do not believe Rosenthal stole from the organization, testifying that he often let children who could not afford registration play anyway.
David Green, a friend of Rosenthal's since the 1960s, said Rosenthal often paid for necessities — food for the concession stand, pay for umpires and a new roof for the concession stand — out of his own pocket and reimbursed himself later.
"I know he didn't do this," Green said. "It's in my heart. It's in my soul."
Sasinoski sentenced Rosenthal to 21 years of probation and ordered him to pay $234,605 in restitution during that time, though that number is not set in stone. Should restitution be paid sooner, the judge said, probation can be terminated sooner.
Rosenthal said he is pleased that he will serve no jail time, but both he and Eyster said they plan to fight not only the sentence, but the conviction as well.
"I'm a free man right now," he said. "We can challenge everything we need to challenge at this point."
Gregory Allen, a coach and parent of two sons in the league, took over as president after the scandal. He declined comment on behalf of 14th Ward on Monday.

I will not lie. I have tendancies to speed. I want to stay with the group so I will... but it would be nice if the route was somewhat mapped out so those that want to maybe go ahead through some of the more fun sections in the mountains can maybe do so and then pull of, etc to join back up with the group. If it is felt that this would cause problems within the group and/or for the group I would overcome my urges and stay within 10mph of the limit.

I'm going to bump this up since it would be in four or five days, and it would be cool to know if it is going to happen. I don't even really care so much about the route. There is scenic stuff everywhere. In the spirit of contributing and not just bumping, I suggest that we could take a simple route, by heading up through Nederland to Estes Park, and back. We should be able to find plenty to do. It has been awhile since I last took that route, so I don't remember the exact highway anymore (oops!). But some of you surely know what I am talking about.Ben
That is what you were supposed to be doing the past few weekends so you had some spare time for the drive!!! I totally understand because I have just finished installing my new deck and pathway. Bobcat?? I needed that last week!
Sounds like you could use a break though :wink:
Pulling out the map today, and planning the route. I will plan a stop at some good eatery if everyone is on board for that. Look for the post later today.

Harry Reid's Senate Blockade
A case study in the world's greatest dysfunctional body.
The U.S. Senate failed to advance another piece of popular bipartisan legislation late Monday, and the reason tells the real story of Washington gridlock in the current Congress. To wit, Harry Reid has essentially shut down the Senate as a place to debate and vote on policy.
The Majority Leader's strategy was once again on display as the Senate failed to get the 60 votes to move a popular energy efficiency bill co-sponsored by New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Ohio Republican Rob Portman. Mr. Reid blamed the defeat...

Accelerating Innovation Through Coopetition: The Innovation Learning Network Experience
Coopetition, the simultaneous pursuit of cooperation and competition, is a growing force in the innovation landscape. For some organizations, the primary mode of innovation continues to be deeply secretive and highly competitive, but for others, a new style of shared challenges, shared purpose, and shared development has become a superior, more efficient way of working to accelerate innovation capabilities and capacity. Over the last 2 decades, the literature base devoted to coopetition has gradually expanded. However, the field is still in its infancy.
Navigating The HealthTech Innovation Cycle
The journey from identifying and articulating an important unmet medical need to developing an innovative solution which becomes the standard of care is long and challenging, with most teams failing somewhere along the way. The odds of successfully navigating the journey significantly increase if teams have the experience and skills needed to anticipate and address challenges along the way. We believes that innovation in HealthTech is a learnable process. We have created a roadmap to help budding entrepreneurs successfully navigate the journey by learning from and building on the experiences of others.
Avoiding Deal Killers
In today's environment, even promising healthech innovations fail to get investments from financially motivated investors. As a result, solutions do not survive the so-called Valley of Death. There are numerous good reasons why investors choose not to invest. In many cases, it is because the innovator did not anticipate and prepare a response to a question about a particular risk. This can be traced back to the fact that innovators often fail to put themselves in an investor's shoes. Doing so is critical to understanding why they may not invest in their solution—the "deal killers".
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Point-of-Care Technology Research Network
This paper describes the POCTRN and the three currently funded Centers as examples of academic-based organizations that support collaborations across disciplines, institutions, and geographic regions to successfully drive innovative solutions from concept to patient care.
Healthcare Commercialization Programs
Healthcare commercialization programs (HCPs) are described and proposed as an option that institutions can add to their portfolio to improve translational research. In helping teams translate specifc healthcare innovations into practice, HCPs expand the skillset of investigators and enhance an institution's innovation capacity. Lessons learned are shared from configuring and delivering HCPs, which build on the fundamentals of the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps program, to address the unique challenges in supporting healthcare innovations and innovators.
2014 CIMIT Clinical Impact Study Update
This is an ongoing, work-in-process update of CIMIT's Clinical Impact Study (CIS). First conducted in 2009, the CIS is a self-assessment by CIMIT faculty and investigators of its project portfolio and Accelerator Program and now includes projects initiated between 1998 and 2012. The innovation portfolio, an important subset of the ways in which CIMIT helps speed innovations into patient care, represents an investment of almost $70M over 14 years. It also represents a rather unique longitudinal set of experiences from which to learn.
IEEE Pulse Featuring CIMIT
If ever an industry was in need of both incremental and disruptive innovation it is today's health care industry. Realizing the full potential of innovation across the spectrum of health care environments is critical to address the well-documented, emerging global crisis generated by the aging of the population, the obligation to increase access for all to the best standard of care, and the societal imperative to contain costs.
Facilitating Translational Research
Would a carpenter be asked to manage building a new housing development? Probably not. More likely a real estate developer with the skills, experience and knowledge of the local market and trades, including carpentry, would manage such an undertaking. Good developers anticipate and address the challenges of building and selling homes. Delivering attractive appropriately priced homes on time and on budget requires that developers use their knowledge, experience, and judgment to make numerous decisions that engage the right talent at the right time to balance development risks and costs.
Venture Findings Featuring the CIMIT Model
The Consortia for Improving Medicine with Innovation & Technology (CIMIT) was established in 1998 by four leading academic medical centers and universities in the greater Boston area to leverage the value of a consortium to improve patient care through Deep Innovation using medical technology to solve pressing unmet medical needs.

This is one lesson the atheist community needs to work on the most. There is anger and contempt and frustration which is reasonable and understandable and can be expressed in constructive ways. But it is also expressed in arrogant, mean, condescending and ritious ways which I find total "asshole" behaviour. Atheists can be just as big assholes as people from any religeion, especially in terms of smugness, belittling, smarter-than-thou, better-than-thou terms. Just stumble atheism and you'll find all sorts of mean spirited material. Not only does it make you an asshole, but you rarely convert anyone to your side while being a dick to someone, by telling them they are stupid and by showing them how smarter and awsome-er you are. It also makes atheists seem bad when so many are dissing and cussing at everyone else.

3 crew members on South Korean ferry named martyrs
May. 12, 2014
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Three crew members on the doomed South Korean ferry were designated as martyrs on Monday for giving their lives to save others as the ship was sinking nearly a month ago.
The heroic actions of the three who died contrast sharply with the accusations against other crew, 15 of whom have been arrested on suspicion of negligence, and accusations against the ferry owner.
The martyr designation by the Welfare Ministry means the three can be buried in a national cemetery and their bereaved families will be eligible for financial compensation and medical assistance.
A statement on the ministry website described the actions of 22-year-old Park Ji-young, 28-year-old Kim Ki-woong and 28-year-old Jung Hyun-seon.
Park, a female contract worker, helped calm people, handed out life vests and helped passengers get on a rescue boat. A witness was quoted as saying Park gave up her life vest for a student, and said, "I will get out after rescuing you all."
Kim Ki-woong, a part-time worker, and Jung Hyun-seon, a clerical crew, were recognized for helping the passengers' escape while they themselves were not rescued. Local media earlier had reported that the couple planned to marry later this year.
"They were together for four years," Kim's mother, Kim Kwang-sook, told Yonhap news agency last month. "I only hope the two of them will be happy in a nice place. ... My heart is about to burst."
Only 172 people, including 22 of the 29 crew members, survived the April 16 disaster. All 15 surviving crew members involved in the ferry's navigation have been arrested on suspicion of negligence and failing to protect passengers.
Also on Monday, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries revoked the operating license of ferry owner Chonghaejin Marine Co. Ltd. for the Incheon-Jeju route, the same route of the Sewol.
An officer at the Incheon Regional Maritime Affairs & Port Administration said the license was canceled because the company was responsible for the worst maritime accident in South Korea's history, and also because the company did not carry out proper relief efforts. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, citing office rules.
Bad weather was keeping divers from searching the deteriorating vessel for a third day. No bodies have been recovered since Friday; 29 passengers remain missing, with 275 bodies recovered so far, most of them students from a single high school south of Seoul.
Coast guard official Yang Jong-ta said the search would resume as soon as the waves calmed.

Quality Cartridge brass is correctly headstamped in the listed caliber. Because of variations in case size for some specialty cartridges, it is best to check the brass against a fired case from a particular firearm to ensure suitability. Whenever possible, brass has been formed to published standards for the cartridge. This is not loaded ammunition.Made In {{countryOfOrigin}}
Due to the manufacturing process and/or shipping, case mouths may not be perfectly round. To ensure a round case
mouth, cases must be sized (or have the expander ball of the sizing die run through case neck) and deburred/Chamfered prior
to loading.
A light "staining" may be found on the case neck of new brass. This is due to annealing. Annealing is a process,
performed by the manufacturer, which involves rapid heating to a specified temperature followed by rapid cooling. This
process imparts cases with the proper hardness to securely hold a bullet as well as gives flexibility to expand and contract upon
firing and repeated forming. The "staining" is a residue from this process. This stain may be removed by tumbling before

These beautiful bowls are hand beaten in Nepal and are created from a blend of 7 different metals: gold, silver, mercury, copper, iron, tin and lead. There are 9 different stages all together to get one singing bowl from the makers to our store. By purchasing this bowl you are helping support a small village community in Nepal.
1 x hand beaten bowl
Diameter of rim: 160 mm approx
Depth: 85 mm approx
Weight: 700 - 790 g
- 1 x wooden stick wrapped with suede leather at one end for playing your bowl
- 1 x brightly coloured cushion to display your bowl. (Please note that the colour of the cushion sent may vary from the sample in photo).
Singing bowls (also known as Himalayan bowls, rin gongs, medicine bowls, Tibetan bowls or suzu gongs in Japan) are a type of bell, specifically classified as a standing bell. Rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, standing bells sit with the bottom surface resting. The sides and rim of singing bowls vibrate to produce sound. Singing bowls were traditionally used throughout Asia as part of Bon and Tantric Buddhist sadhana. Today they are employed worldwide both within and without these spiritual traditions, for meditation, trance-induction, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being and religious practice.
Singing: Bowls can be played by the friction of rubbing a wood, plastic, or leather wrapped stick around the rim of the bowl to emphasize the harmonic overtones and create a continuous 'singing' sound. The best sound will come from a modernly manufactured bowl as they have the smoothest finish which generates the clearest sound.
To produce the singing sound, place on a flat surface with nothing touching the sides of the bowl. Slide a stick around the rim, maintaining contact at all times in a firm but slow movement. If you cannot get the sound started, you can give the rim a small strike but make sure to follow straight away in the circular movement so that the sound and vibration is not lost. This should be one continuous movement.
Vibration: The traditional style bowls are best used for vibration purposes - the larger the bowl, the stronger the vibration. Bowls can be placed on the stomach, back, neck, legs, arms, head and be stood in to heal the feet and lower legs. The best way to get a great vibration from your bowl is to strike it once with a padded mallet, rather than using the round stick method used for singing.
Hydrodynamic: by adding an adequate amount of water to your bowl, it can be used as water therapy. This can only be achieved with a traditional bowl as the vibrations cause the water to leap up into the air. During traditional prayer, if the flecks of water land on you it is said to cause good luck.

'Finkelmeier plan' vetted: Proposal to face additional scrutiny, law director's input
The "Finkelmeier Plan" remained intact.
The plan now faces the scrutiny of Wapakoneta Law Director Dennis Faller and of Wapakoneta City Council ad hoc committee members comparing the plan to other municipalities who have enacted similar legislation.
During a meeting held Tuesday at the Wapakoneta City Administration Building, Term of Office Ad Hoc Committee members started vetting the "Finkelmeier plan" regarding staggering and extending terms of city elected officials.
The plan would lengthen the term of office from two years to four years for council president and all councilors and stagger the terms of office for council president with the mayor and for the ward councilors with councilors-at-large.
"I believe this is worth doing and I believe it is worth campaigning for," Councilor-at-large Tom Finkelmeier Jr. told the Wapakoneta Daily News. "This is not about my office or any other current member's office. It is my true belief that this is a better way to maintain civic experience in city government."
The recent November general election sparked Finkelmeier to revisit an issue previously discussed between a former city elected official and himself.
He shared that the proposal arose from discussions between former Council President Don Jump "regarding continuity of leadership and institutional memory of the city government."
He said while this is not "a terribly pressing issue," he felt staggering terms of office, which also would require lengthening elected officials' terms "is worthy of discussion because the possibility does exist of losing all tenured elected officials in one election cycle."
"While I certainly believe in the public's ability to vote out those elected officials they are displeased with, I now realize this job benefits from experience of tenured officials and I would like to see a staggering of the terms," Finkelmeier said. "The history of the last several elections has shown us a lack of interest by the public in running for these positions so that puts us in a position if a group or a majority decided not to run like four years ago where several positions were filled by at-large candidates than we also lose a continuity of leadership and the institutional memory of city government."
Finkelmeier, who is chairing the ad hoc committee, called Tuesday's meeting of councilors to discuss the mechanics of the staggering of terms, the cost of placing a referendum before the public to make the changes and the timeline of implementation.
Councilors present — 4th Ward Councilor Chad Doll and councilors-at-large Steve Walter and Dan Graf — discussed public comments made to them. Nearly all people supported the staggering of terms, but some inquired about two-year terms instead of four-year terms.
Finkelmeier explained staggering two-year terms is impossible because the election of local officials cannot occur during a presidential election. This forced terms of office to four-year terms with the elections to be held in odd-numbered years.
They also determined the best way to proceed would be to maintain wards elected being in one cycle and councilors-at-large in another cycle to limit confusion and the ballot would be uniform. Finkelmeier explained to split up councilors-at-large would require a specific term of office for each seat instead of the top three candidates receiving votes being elected to office.
Councilors also provided continued support for staggering the mayor and council president since council president is acting mayor if the mayor is not available.
There would be a minimal cost to have the issue placed on the ballot for voters decide on the plan.
They also determined placing the issue before voters this year is not necessary, but if passed by voters would permit its implementation at next year's election otherwise full implementation could be delayed years.
Finkelmeier said it was not necessary to place it on this year's ballot, but he does want to make sure the city resolution to place it before the electorate receives three readings.
For the issue to placed on this year's general election ballot, councilors would have to adopt legislation no later than their July 2 meeting.
"The next meeting we will report back to the ad hoc committee on other municipalities that have made the switch but remained under a statutory form of government," Finkelmeier said, noting they intend to gather information from city clerks and other organizations. "We also want to get feedback from the law director on how the ballot issue needs to be structured and then hopefully move up to the full council for discussion."
The next meeting will be scheduled at the Feb. 6 city council meeting.

BREAKING: More Evidence That Narco Baby Mama #AliciaMachado Got U.S. Citizenship As Corrupt Favor To @HillaryClinton
Ex-immigration chief Alejandro Mayorkas announced his resignation today for fast-tracking visas on behalf of Hillary Clinton's brother, suggesting there's a habit among U.S. immigration officials to do special favors for big politicians. For example, like giving U.S. citizenship to meth kingpin baby mama and Hillary Clinton campaign surrogate Alicia Machado. From The Daily Caller: Department of […]Read Story

Police say brothers attacked plow driver in Keene parking lotBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
January 23. 2014 8:43PM
KEENE — Two brothers are accused of attacking a plow driver in the CVS parking lot on West Street Saturday night.
August D. Waters, 23, of Keene was arrested and charged with simple assault and criminal threatening, use of a deadly weapon, for allegedly attacking the plow driver and brandishing a knife, Lt. Steven Stewart said.
His brother, Daniel P. Waters Jr., 24, of Winchendon, Mass., was charged with simple assault.
Police went to the CVS plaza on West Street at 7:48 p.m. for a report of a plow driver being attacked.
"The driver explained that he had been plowing the parking lot and stopped quick to avoid hitting the Waters brothers," Stewart said.
The near miss, though, seemed to have upset the brothers, Stewart said.
"August Waters jumped on the loader and attempted to punch him through the open window, in his other hand he was displaying a large knife, and challenged him to fight," he said.
The plow driver backed up the plow and got out.
"He was tackled by August and Daniel, knocking him to the ground where there was a wrestling match, broken up by a bystander," Stewart said.
The plow driver was not injured.
August Waters was held in the Cheshire County House of Correction on $10,000 cash bail. He was arraigned in the 8th Circuit Court District Division in Keene on Tuesday.Daniel Waters has not been arraigned yet, according to a court clerk.

A Juan Mata free-kick handed Chelsea all three points at the Emirates Stadium, and Roberto Di Matteo's side extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
The Blues took the lead through Fernando Torres, before Arsenal striker Gervinho equalised just before half-time. But a Juan Mata free-kick won the game for Roberto Di Matteo's side.
The Spaniard's effort clipped Laurent Koscielny on the way through and Arsenal keeper Vito Mannone was left helpess as the ball nestled into the far corner.
French international Olivier Giroud had a late chance to snatch a draw after coming on as a substitute, but the former-Montpellier striker skewed his effort wide after rounding Petr Cech.
After Branislav Ivanovic attracted criticism last week for diving, Chelsea defender David Luiz followed suit this weekend, and was booked for going down too easily in the second half.
But Roberto Di Matteo will be delighted to leave the Emirates Stadium with all three points, especially considering the Gunners solid start to the season. Arsene Wenger will be disappointed to have conceded from two set-pieces, and to make matters worse, Abou Diaby limped off with an injury in the first-half.
The 2-1 victory keeps Chelsea top of the table.

Dan (the security officer) is without a shadow of a doubt my favorite member of staff. He's a great guy.

Clubs and Activities
Great for these types of students
Ones with no life.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
If I wasn't in class or offering a classmate a ride, I wasn't there. Not exactly the hip place to hang out. Its a one classroom school with a small library and lounge.
Bang for the buck
Don't get me wrong, you learn a lot from Gupton but the way they deliver it totally sucks (pardon my French). If they were a little more lax with the little things, and maybe broke some of the more rigorous courses up into bi-weekly class meetings or even added a semester, I think students would be less stressed out. But for the money ($20,000 for no previous college prerequisites/whole 2 year program with no financial aid).
What to do for fun
Yeah, right. Occasionally they may have a cookout for students where you provide all the food/drinks and have to be in dress code or business casual. We had one day where we could wear blue jeans and you would have thought it was Christmas.
Food and Dining
There are several restaurants within walking distance.
Dorm Life
The apartments are about as big as a normal person's living room, maybe 400 square feet. They use to be subsidized housing and have several problems with plumbing and are way too expensive for what you get. $400 a month and all utilities separate. No thanks.
Academic Rigor
The classes are tough. You need to study as much as possible and go to any study sessions you can. They like to cram 2-3 semesters worth of knowledge into one class, one semester, once a week.
Tips for prospective students
Quit your job, tell your friends you can't come out to play and buckle up for one heck of a ride. I came from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga making all A's and B's (GPA was 3.5) to Gupton and struggle to make B's and C's. I love the hands on experience I received, but it's one of the toughest schools I've ever been to and you rarely use any of the information you go over in the actual classes. I learned everything about actual embalming and funeral directing from my clinicals and professional practicum (externship).
In three sentences
If you like overbearing Christian religious influence, favoritism to those whose family's own funeral homes, and ridiculous classes, John Gupton is the school for you! Most instructors have a horrible attitude toward students who aren't the cookie-cutter funeral service stereotype and the dress code is over the top. If you have any type of a life, job, or aren't the best student I suggest going to another school.

DoJ Undeterred by Furor Over Apple Antitrust Charges
Jul 24, 2012 5:00 AM PT
The Department of Justice is not flinching in the face of criticism over its antitrust case against Apple and other e-book publishers.
The agency filed suit this spring alleging that Apple and five of the six largest publishers in the U.S. violated section 1 of the Sherman Act. At the same time, it settled with three of the defendants -- Hachette, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster.
The settlement, if approved in court, would allow retailers to set their own prices for e-books. Also, publishers would not be allowed to discuss pricing with competitors for five years. Nor could they pressure retailers to abstain from offering customers discounts.
800 Out of 868 Disagree
As part of the settlement process, the public was invited to comment during a period of about two months. Some 868 comments were received, and the vast majority of them -- 800 -- were opposed to the settlement.
The Justice Department was not impressed with their arguments, however.
Fear of Unfettered Competition
Many of the critical comments were submitted by parties that "have an interest in seeing consumers pay more for e-books, and hobbling retailers that might want to sell e-books at lower prices," DoJ said in its response.
Those comments did not express frustration with the settlement or even the original complaint, DoJ said, but rather with the evolving nature of the publishing industry "in which the growing popularity of e-books is placing pressure on the prevailing model that is built on physical supply chains and brick-and-mortar stores."
In short, the critics want unfettered competition to be replaced by industry collusion, Justice said.
About Amazon
Other comments said the price-fixing was necessary to reduce Amazon's huge share -- 90 percent, according to some reports -- of the e-book market. Apple's entry in this space, according to this story line, is leading to erosion of Amazon's market share.
That was the main thrust behind Apple's argument against the settlement.
"Amazon is by any measure or standard the industry monopolist, a dominant presence in the ebook and physical book marketplace," its attorneys wrote. "It routinely uses its leverage across both markets to impose its will on authors and publishers."
The DoJ shrugged off that argument as well, noting that Apple's entry into the e-book market was not immediately successful.
"It was, in fact, Barnes & Noble's entry -- prior to Apple -- that took significant share away from Amazon," the DoJ noted, "and many of the touted innovations were in development long before Apple decided to enter the market via conspiracy."
Apple is justified in its frustration -- at least in part -- Darren Bush, a professor of law at the University of Houston Law Center, told MacNewsWorld.
"The Justice Department would rather focus on Section 1 violations of the Sherman Act instead of Section 2 violations," he said.
Briefly, section 1 violations pertain to coordinated, or group, behavior. Section 2 deals with monopolization and attempted monopolization by a single firm.
In recent years, the DoJ has been putting more weight on Section 1 violations because those are easier for it to win, said Bush. "Section 2 is harder, because you have to do something with the dominant firm -- the remedy is harder. Also, the Supreme Court has made it clear it doesn't like Section 2 cases."
Unfamiliarity With Sherman
The Justice Department also suggests that some critics do not understand U.S. antitrust law because they assert that the department is trying to impose a business model on this industry by forbidding agency agreements.
Justice does not object to agency agreements -- "only to the collusive use of agency to eliminate competition and thrust higher prices onto consumers," it said.
There are other issues that count against Apple, said Jonathan Askin, a professor at Brooklyn Law School.
"The real issue that makes Apple a bigger threat to competition, relative to Amazon and other e-book vendors, is the fact that Apple tethers its books and applications directly to its own hardware," he told MacNewsWorld.
"If the consumer owns Apple hardware, that consumer is largely beholden to Apple software, Apple applications, Apple e-books, and Apple pricing," Askin explained. "Market dominance and control over the hardware gives Apple inordinate control over the software and its pricing."
The Department of Justice and Apple did not respond to our requests for further details.
